THE BRIDGES OF MONTREAL... (2018)

THE BRIDGES OF MONTREAL...  By Bernard Bujold -  It is impossible to cross one of Montreal's many bridges, above or below, without thinking of the tragedy that occurred in Genoa, Italy. In fact, a bridge is a very solid structure but also very fragile and if a portion of the bridge collapses, no survival is possible for those who are above, or for those who cross below.  Conclusion: "Better sometimes be on the floor of the ducks and just relax on the grass. It is less risky...  SEE PHOTO ALBUM

RAFAEL NADAL - THE CHAMPION

RAFAEL NADAL - THE CHAMPION By Bernard Bujold -  The Number 1 in the world RAFAEL NADAL won the tennis Rogers Cup 2018, his fourth title in Canada since his first in 2005 against André Agassi in Montreal.  Since then, 13 years later, Nadal became an established champion in the tennis world.  I followed Nadal since his beginning and I even had the pleasure to take pictures of him many times over the years and at his beginning in 2005.  Over the years, Nadal became a better tennis player but he never changed regarding his personality and his friendly manners with his fans and friends.  Only one bad development is his age.  Indeed at 32 years old, observers and he himself, are starting to think about his eventual retirement... Time go too fast!  SEE PHOTO ALBUM (2005 & 2018)

MARIA SHARAPOVA AND THE ART OF TENNIS

MARIA SHARAPOVA AND THE ART OF TENNIS  By Bernard Bujold -  Maria Sharapova is a great tennis champion and one could see that by looking to her play on the tennis court. Some days you win, other you loose but the talent is always there.  I had great pleasure taking pictures of her during her visit to Montreal for the 2018 Rogers Cup.  One could resume the tennis game in this sentence: " You have to play the ball of the moment. Forget the last ball as well as the next one and focus on the ball in front of you."  Tennis philosophy is also the best way to live the ordinary life, professional and personal.  Live the "NOW" moment!  SEE PHOTO ALBUM

EUGENIE BOUCHARD - THE QUEBECOISE AND TENNIS

EUGENIE BOUCHARD - THE QUEBECOISE AND TENNIS -  By Bernard Bujold -  Eugenie Bouchard makes me think of Jacques Villeneuve! She has a charisma that the media loves; she looks great; knows her sport well but she does not win!  The reason? Only God knows...  Yet on the field, Eugenie has nothing to envy to other players otherwise luck! But God knows that without luck, nothing is possible even with a lot of talent and continuous efforts!  SEE PHOTO ALBUM

MARIA SHARAPOVA AND HER AUTOBIOGRAPHY: UNSTOPPABLE- MY LIFE SO FAR

Image
MARIA SHARAPOVA : UNSTOPPABLE - MY LIFE SO FAR  By Bernard Bujold  The tennis champion MARIA SHARAPOVA loves Montréal and... she is also my tennis idol! For one, her book UNSTOPPABLE - MY LIFE SO FAR is the best book ever written about tennis. It is in the same category as OPEN by André Agassi.  I love so much the Maria's book that I asked her to sign it after her Tuesday tennis game at the Rogers Cup and she accepted... (Tuesday August 7 -2018)  One could say that I am now her fan for life!  SEE PHOTOS
